The Pinocchio Chip
Spinning a web of political intrigue, technological innovation, and existential crisis, The Pinocchio Chip is a tale of identity, the quest for humanity, and the perils of unbridled emotion. It explores the profound questions of what it means to be human and whether an AI, in its pursuit of emotions, can ever truly become real. A futuristic fairy tale for adult children.
"Stories like The Pinocchio Chip showcase literature's vital role in readying society for looming change, by crafting textured thought experiments to sensitize our collective conscience…. My father skillfully sounds this call, provoking reflection on our accountability in spawning and guiding beings that could eclipse human intelligence as we approach the horizon of independent machine consciousness. I believe this timely, worthwhile work warrants our considered attention before the window of opportunity shuts."
